Could you be the man I longed to love?
Could you be the second turtle dove?
In quiet moments when I stare in to your eyes I find glimpses of me
From across the room I can hear your thoughts
You speak to me without words from your mouth
At times I truly wonder if you know what this is all about
You love a woman for who she is
Not the superficial pleasures she can bring
You love the short afro with tight curls
Sometimes you may think of lacing a women’s foot in pearls
But that’s because real Kings always treat their woman like a Queen
You can articulate the past
And refuse to be struck by
You speak the truth
And from day I knew you were proof,
That real men exist
And manifest their thoughts on more than bliss
Could you be that man to bless my lips with an everlasting kiss
Show me that there is more to life than T. H. I. S…this
To walk down the street hand in hand
Observe the sunset with our feet engulfed in sand
Let me tell the world that you are my man
Could you be that man to help God you and I bring new life into this world
Love me until the sun goes down
Smile even when you’re mad, because only my kiss could remove your frown
Could you be that man to love me even if I gain a few pounds?
To let me love you and give you all I have to give
And never run from the oath we made to commit
Commit our lives to being true to one another
When I look at you I see the man God created for me
Could you be that man?
Will you be that man?
Cause I see that man
Come forth and take my hand
